There was a problem a year or so ago with RFBs with new images - which I don't know if it was fixed. You should search the archives. See if this helps:

I installed the RFB (vnc viewer/server) package on my Debian server, to which I don't have console access. There appears to be a problem with it, because the connection is refused.
I loaded the package on my laptop, started the server, and verified that I could connect to it with Chicken of the VNC. I did not stop the server, I saved the changes with a slightly altered name, and scp'd the image and changes files that had that altered name over to the Debian machine.
I started squeak with the command,
nohup squeak -headless ~/squeaks/*image &
(in the directory, "squeaks," there are two files, the image and the changes)
This process appears to be running. "ps -ef" shows:
squeakvm -headless [~]/squeaks/Squeak3.9-final-7067_RFB.image squeak.image
When I use Chicken to try to start a session, changing only the hostname (which is a raw IP address), I get a "connection refused" message.
I have been told by this ISP that they are not blocking port 5900, and I ran in.telnetd in debug mode on port 5900 and got a connection, so it appears that this is true. The nohup.out file is still zero length. Are there any other log files that might be informative? Is there something that netstat would reveal about whether the RFB app came up properly and is actually listening on 5900? Any other clues?
